  • Title: Cardiac effects of antidepressants.
    Author: Donlon PT.
    Journal: Geriatrics; 1982 Apr; 37(4):53-60. PubMed ID: 6800888.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac effects of tricyclics and tetracyclics, while common, are most frequently benign and well-tolerated. For older patients with underlying disease, however, closer clinical monitoring is needed. The most common effect of MAOIs in healthy adults taking normal dosages is orthostatic hypotension. The most serious reaction to MAOIs is hypertensive crisis, which may be fatal.
